[QUOTE="Totto, post: 748838, member: 91524"] I'm so sorry to hear this Giverny. Hubby has epilepsy since the year after the stroke he had at the age of 48 but nothing as bad as the grand mal attacks, only Jackson. Have you started on meds yet? You see some of the more common drugs tend to lead to deficiencies of different kinds, among them low thyroid so if you are not on Levo already I recommend you get thyroid hormones tested as soon as possible. Also vitamin B12 and vitamin D. It can be useful to have these readings to compare with at a later date. Hubby is seen yearly by a neurology consultant as nobody in Sweden would expect a GP to be able to handle epilepsy. Can you self refer yourself back to the neurology department? A ketogenic diet can help, not only kids but adults too. Google "epilepsy ketogenic diet adults" if you are interested in this. [/QUOTE]
